Associate EditorAs soon as your kids start school, the uniform drama begins. From shoes that instantly scuff to trousers that are too short after a month, the list is never ending.
But luckily there IS a solution for quality school uniforms at a great price. And it’s all in one place …
High street favourite M&S has a huge range of PE kits, school uniforms and shoes that are designed to last AND are easy to look after. But don’t just take our word for it.
In a poll of 20 Netmums members, an amazing 100% said they would recommend M&S school uniform to other parents. Now that’s a recommendation you can’t afford to miss!
Whether your child is due to start Reception soon, or they're already at school, it's never too early to buy uniform for the new term. You can pick up your M&S school uniform instore or online.
Here’s what our panel of Netmums testers thought of the M&S school uniform … and what their kids thought, too!
1. It’s great quality
Your kids spend a lot of time in their school uniform, so it needs to be designed to last. Our testers loved the quality of the M&S uniform and shoes … and their kids loved how comfortable everything was.
‘You can feel the quality in the clothing!'
‘I love the M&S uniform quality. They hardly crease and it saves me hours of ironing.’
‘The quality feels good and they do have a lot of features, which suggest it should continue to look new and wear well for some time.’
‘I would absolutely recommend M&S uniform. I'm very impressed with the price and the quality of all the items.’
‘I'm impressed with the variety and also the quality. Everything feels soft, which is what you want when you have to be in an outfit 5 days a week for the majority of the day.’
‘I was impressed with shoes too. My son said they are like cushion in his feet. 🤣’
2. It’s designed to last
... and has some VERY handy hidden details.
From adjustable hems and waistbands to scuff-resistant school shoes labelled left and right (genius!), M&S have thought of it all.
All these features mean your child’s school uniform should last longer - even after growth spurts - making it a BIG hit with our parent testers.
‘The adjustable hems come in so handy (especially because they can outgrow uniforms so quick). This way they last longer’
'I like that the school shoes have "scuff resistant fronts" as I’ve already gone through 2 pairs of branded shoes for my daughter this year already due to scuffs that have unfortunately ruined the whole shoe.’
‘My favourite features in the M&S range is the adjustable waisted skirts and trousers. Both my kids have small waists but prefer the skirt or shorts longer and it’s often difficult to find things in in-between sizes that can match up with the demands.’
‘I like to be able to pass on to my family and friends something that doesn't look like it's been excessively worn … and M&S always achieves this. Some of our school shorts have been on three boys now and still look as good as the day they were bought.’
‘I love the fact the shoes indicate which is Left and which is Right. That is a great touch and attention to detail.’
3. It’s value for money
Our testers agreed that the M&S uniform was reasonably priced ... and worth every penny!
A 2-pack of stain-resistant shirts starts from £8 while a 3-pack of cotton polo shirts starts from £7. And you can pick up a 2-pack of school trousers from just £11.
‘High-quality school uniform with affordable price'
‘Cost is important but I would rather pay a little more for the quality if it will last longer.’
‘M&S provides excellent quality with many practical features at reasonable prices.’
‘I'm very impressed with the price and the quality of all the items. There really isn't much difference in price and the quality and sizing seems better than the supermarkets.’
‘Price can be a big factor for me when buying uniform. As a single mum of 2, keeping costs to a bare minimum is key, but I don’t always mind paying a little bit more for the quality of the product if I know it’s going to look fresh for longer.’
‘Good pricing, sustainable and great quality.’
4. Our testers would totally recommend M&S school uniform to other parents
From PE kits to school shoes, M&S has you covered for all your school uniform needs.
No surprise then that ALL our testers raved about the products their kids tried.
‘This has changed my mind about uniforms from the supermarket. I would 100% buy it from M&S in the future'
‘ I always recommend M&S to all friends and family and will continue to do so.’
‘I would highly recommend the M&S uniform as my daughter said they were SO comfy!’
‘I would highly recommend this uniform. My son absolutely loves wearing it. He said it felt so soft.’
‘Would definitely recommend it to try for your children. You will never believe -- it has material so soft. Very easy to iron clothes for school uniform.’
‘I would definitely recommend M&S uniforms to other parents due to the many features such as the adjustable waists and easy iron shirts. They are a high-quality brand that has an affordable price point.’
‘All the clothes are very high quality and true to size. We would definitely be purchasing M&S School Uniform from now onwards.’
